Trade: [NYY/CLE] Andrew Miller for top prospects Frazier, Sheffield and 2 others

I don't like a lot of their guys but probably like 8-12.

Nice.

And that's with you not being a fan of Judge and Sanchez. I'll take that ranking any day.

If Yankees manage to unload those players for good returns like they've done with Miller and Chapman (obviously not AS good) then the rebuild is gonna look real good in two years. Damn.

More is coming, one would think. No reason for Beltran to be wearing pinstripes by tomorrow PM.

Kershaw isn't leaving the Dodgers IMO.

Well done Cashman. Helluva return.

 

[Terry Yake]

indians going all in. they know this is the best chance they'll have for a while

yankees get another great return. they've done quite well this trade season

Frazier went up the ranking a lot...Still think Zimmer offer more potential at pro level.

Anyway the Best right now + Zimmer coming...so we all knew 1 of the 2 had to go.

Sheffield a good prospect....our 3rd-4th best pitching prospect....we have BraLHP who hatter potential.

Ouch. Does CLE still do this deal if they knew Lucroy was turning them down?

No reason to believe he would decline other than the fact that they were on his no trade list...I'm sure they expected him to waive it, but they were on his list for some reason, so they had to know that was at least an option.

Yankees did the right thing(as Detroit did last season at the deadline) and cleaned up in the process.

How? Frazier has elite bat speed. Zimmer is definitely a higher floor player, but Frazier has some elite potential with the bat.

Frazier over Zimmer any day and I like Zimmer too.

It's upside vs floor.

He probably wants to go a more established contender like Texas. Indians have been inconsistent the last few years.

Why would anyone give Harvey money right now?

Nobody said anything about right now. He's got another two years to show us if he can regain form.
